Yeah, my mom was that harpy for the small Christian school my brothers and sister went to. She was able to get any positive mention of the Greeks out of the curriculum due to them ALL being pederasts. She also tried to get Shakespeare out because he was a foul mouthed pervert, but the English teachers fought back. Finally a stalemate with a minimal, edited amount was allowed.

When I went to public school for a year she also freaked out when the Spanish teacher had us take home translation worksheets with vampires on them. My mom saw those and thought that I was being taken in by the occult.

Good times, good times.

I was reading this and thinking to myself, "he had to grow up in North Carolina or Alabama to have a mom that crazy".

Knowing several people from Michigan I can only think that her outrage is manufactured and the real problem is that Anne Frank is a member of an inferior race. The lady is smart enough to know that objection won't fly, though, so she came up with this little nugget instead.

the show was tanking in the ratings but she raised such a stink that everyone heard about it and started watching. She did a little damage in the beginning with advertisers and managed to get one episode canned. But overall she likely helped the show survive to become one of longest running tv series.

CSB: My cousin used to work on the show during his intern days and told me that every Christmas the production team would send her a fruit basket.

fat boy:"There are little folds of skin all over the place, you canhardly find it. The little hole underneath is so terribly smallthat I simply can't imagine how a man can get in there, letalone how a whole baby can get out!"

"...Until I was eleven or twelve, I didn't realize therewas a second set of labia on the inside, since youcouldn't see them.

thought urine came out of the clitoris...When you'restanding up, all you see from the front is hair. Betweenyour legs there are two soft, cushiony things, alsocovered with hair, which press together when you'restanding,

separate when you sit down and they're very red andquite fleshy on the inside. In the upper part, betweenthe outer labia, there's a fold of skin that, on secondthought,

clitoris..."

Is that it? A description of the body is pornographic?

The lady should stop now. Her ignorance of the meaning of pornography, her disgust of the human body and her idiotic crusade are clear indications that she's a pathetic excuse for a parent and a human being . I pity her kids.

And this is where I stopped reading. Nine times out of ten, enraged mother is code for "delusional harpy with too much time on her hands".

The fact that this woman would want to deprive her child of reading the first hand account of a girl her daughter's age who lived through one of the most significant periods in human history solely because it mentions genitalia is just pathetic. I doubt she would raise a stink if the book they were reading had to do with violence, racism and rape (To Kill a Mockingbird).

Besides, any 7th grader who claims they haven't discovered their genitalia is either lying or a quadriplegic.

I'm also sure she'd support her child's reading on the Bible. It condones genocide, polygamy, talks about masturbation, incest, and supports slavery.

Don't forget the stoning!

When I was six, my Mom gave me a children's illustrated Bible for my birthday (early 1970's). Well, let me tell you, I read that Bible until it fell apart. The Old Testament had all these stories about sex, violence, genocide, etc. There was a drawing of David staring down at a naked Bathsheba, and a woman carrying the head of John the Baptist on a plate, which was oozing blood onto the floor. I think I perused the New Testament only once (boring), but I read the shiat out of the O.T. in that Bible. It wasn't really for six year-olds, but it WAS a children's Bible. I wish I still had it so I could scan you guys the photos, but it disintegrated years ago.

I guess my Mom thought it would be to my benefit to learn some religion, but years later she realized it might have been a little inappropriate. Plus, I grew up a non-believer, as well.

The lady from TFA would probably die of shock if she thinks Anne Frank is "pornographic." I'm pretty sure my Mother got me a copy when I was about 9 or 10, since clearly I could stand the "horror."

I got that same bible for my 7th birthday and it is still at my mother's house...I remember some of te pictures you mentioned.

With that said, I want to coont punt this stupid mother for not wanting her snowflake to read about Anne. Stupid biatch...

I always have to have a deep breath ready for when I report to some supervisor that I found nudity here and pornography there, because I know the question is coming and it makes me sad.

Satanic_Hamster:Dear stupid shrill whore:If you kept your complaint to "inappropriate to her daughters age group," I might consider your complaint. But calling it "pornographic" just makes you just look like a shrill stupid whore.

A book written by somebody in her daughter's age group could be honestly considered inappropriate for said age group? Really?

I see what you did there. Wish to subscribe to newsletter, with a gift subscription to said Holocaust Remembrance group.

slayer199:How pornographic could this be really? If she's just observing her vagina, that's not really pornographic...now if she's describing taking a candlestick and farking herself with it...mom may have a point. Somehow I doubt it's the later...otherwise we'd have 50 Shades of Frank.

I have not yet read the unedited version, but I understand that it is considerably juicier than the version people of my generation read in junior high school.

You gotta admit though, the sexual stuff kinda comes out of left field. Of all the people who even know what the Diary of Anne Frank is, 100% would say it's about jews hiding from nazis, and maybe a few people could scratch their head and recall something else she talked about.

lack of warmth:So I guess asking the school to use the Diary of Anne Frank (play version) would be just ridiculous. That is what I read back in school and never thought I was left in the dark about any part of the story. I guess you don't get the true picture of the fear and nasty nature of hiding from the nazis unless you read about the persons personal writings about their own genitals. There must be a point there about not knowing the full story unless the person telling it describes their genitals to you. That's okay, if reading about someone's personal thoughts about sexual discovery is what you need to understand a family hiding from the nazis then read on.

/not everything in a diary should be made public//just not good taste

I sort of agree with you on this, but other posters have made the point (albeit in rather.... um... juvenile ways) that there was probably nothing (and I don't remember anything) in the unedited version that would be shocking or unfamiliar to the average 12 year old girl (possibly to the boys).

Still, it would probably be best to use the edited version. I know it's considered rather silly to have any concern for the rights and preferences of sexually-repressed Christians, but since it is a public school (meaning her tax dollars help pay for it) then her desires in the matter should be considered.
